Time capsule buried Sunday at Letterkenny Army Depot 9/11 ceremony

CHAMBERSBURG - During this year's 9/11 Memorial Service at Letterkenny Chapel on Sunday, was the dedication and burial of a memorial time capsule at the Franklin County Veterans and 9/11 Memorial Park.

Terry Shaffer, retired chief of the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Department, brought soil from the site of the Flight 93 crash to be buried alongside documents that would tell future generations about Sept. 11.

A woman also stepped forward and asked that a prayer coin be added to the memorial time capsule. She said she had carried it with her since losing her parents on Sept. 11. The coin contained the inspirational poem "Footprints."

The coin, which was placed on top of a folded flag like one flown at Shanksville, was placed in the capsule at the heart of the monument.

Part of the memorial, beams from the World Trade Center, will overlook where the capsule was buried.

"This information will serve to inform people in the future about the events that took place during Sept. 11," said Paul Cullinane, part of the 9/11 Committee. "We want to honor and remember those who gave their lives during this time."

Franklin County Commissioners David Keller and Robert Ziobrowski, as well as several other members of the community helped to bury the items in the capsule which was then sealed.

A plaque on the time capsule reads that it should be opened on Sept. 11, 2103.
